Press release

Montréal, September 17, 2020 — The Roue de fortune chez vous! game show is back for a 32nd season, this time adapted to meet COVID-19 public health and safety requirements. This year, contestants will be invited to spin a brand-new wheel offering twice as many $50,000 and $100,000 prizes in studios that have been specially reconfigured and will be disinfected after each taping.

On September 11, Anick Dumontet welcomed Nathalie Ross, along with her mother Céline Gagnon and brother Michel Ross. The family’s frontwoman, Céline Gagnon, had the good fortune to spin the wheel and snag the grand prize, i.e. $1,000,000! The TV segment aired Tuesday, September 15, 2020, on TVA.

Highlights

• Céline Gagnon and her children Nathalie and Michel, from the Mauricie, Laurentides and Centre-du-Québec regions respectively, purchased three Roue de fortune chez vous! tickets—one each.
• They said they would split the prize if one of their tickets was a winning ticket. Céline’s turned out to be the lucky one, allowing them to go to TVA’s studios and spin the wheel!
• All three are happy to be splitting $1 million and planning to buy a cottage together.
